“…Prompt recognition and initiation of emergency management and resuscitation is crucial to reduce morbidity ( 1 ). The most common cause of PPH is uterine atony ( 1 ), and where uterotonic medications fail, balloon tamponade is a simple, effective, and potentially life-saving measure ( 2 ). Therefore, PPH emergency management is a critical concept in undergraduate obstetrics and gynecology teaching in order to prepare our future physicians for clinical practice.…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the use of a virtual reality learning environment (VRLE) to enhance medical student knowledge of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) emergency management and insertion of a postpartum balloon.MethodsA randomized control trial involving medical students from University College Dublin, Ireland. Participants were randomly allocated to the intervention group (VRLE tutorial) or control group (PowerPoint tutorial on the same topic). All participants completed pre-learning experience and post-learning experience surveys. Both groups were timed and assessed on postpartum balloon insertion technique on a model pelvis. The primary outcome was assessment of student knowledge. Secondary outcomes included confidence levels, time taken to complete the task, technique assessment, satisfaction with the learning environment, and side effects of VR.ResultsBoth learning experiences significantly (p < 0.001) enhanced student performance on the post-learning experience multiple choice questionnaire, with no difference between the intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, time for task completion was significantly less compared to the control group (1–2 min vs. 2–3 min, p = 0.039). Both learning experiences significantly (p < 0.001) enhanced student confidence, with no significant difference between intervention and control groups. 100% of the students using the VRLE enjoyed the experience, and 82.4% were very likely to recommend use of VRLE in medical education. 94.1% of the students felt the VRLE was beneficial over didactic teaching.ConclusionReceiving formal instruction, regardless of format, enhances students’ knowledge and confidence of the topic covered. Students who received instruction via the VRLE assembled the postpartum balloon faster than students who received didactic teaching. VR may be beneficial in teaching hands-on procedural skills in obstetrics and gynecology education.

“…Traditional approaches to controlling PPH involve techniques such as uterine massage, the use of pharmaceutical agents such as oxytocin, and, in severe instances, surgical treatments such as uterine artery ligation or hysterectomy (Drew and Carvalho, 2021;Muñoz et al, 2019). Balloon tamponade entails the placement of a balloon apparatus into the uterine cavity, which is subsequently inflated to apply pressure on the uterine walls, effectively managing hemorrhaging (Purandare et al, 2022). An essential benefit of balloon tamponade is its non-surgical nature, which makes it a desirable choice when surgical procedures carry higher risks or are less practical (Yu et al, 2020).…”

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of balloon tamponade in managing postpartum hemorrhage in women who were delivered at Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar. A descriptive study was conducted from September 2022 to September 2023 in the gynecology ward of Lady Reading Hospital. The study included females aged 18 to 40 years who experienced PPH after delivery and were either primigravida or multigravida. The effectiveness of balloon tamponade was evaluated. The mean age of the participants was 28.75±6.30 years, and the mean gestation age was 37.40±3.06 weeks. The most common cause of PPH was an atonic uterus. The study found that balloon tamponade was effective in 89.8% of cases. The study concludes that balloon tamponade is effective in managing postpartum hemorrhage in 89.8% of cases.
